Unfortunately, that's exactly what Iran wants the US to do.  They want to broaden the Israel-Hamas war into a larger regional conflict.   Not sayin' a big part of me isn't totally for kicking some ass and taking names ...

And I would be surprised if Russia isn't egging Iran on - they would appreciate distracting the West from their escapades in Ukraine.
